The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) hosted the Gaming Regulators European Forum’s (GREF) 2024 conference in Malta from May 20 to 22. This prestigious event united gaming regulators from over 25 countries, creating a dynamic platform to tackle pressing industry challenges and exchange invaluable insights.

This year was the first time regulators from other continents were present at the event, inviting a global outlook to the discussions held. Topics discussed ranged from the MGA’s ESG code, responsible gambling, digital and innovation, international perspectives on gambling regulation, anti money laundering and a geographical approach to gambling.

GREF chairperson Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin said she was honoured to open GREF’s 2024 Annual Conference. She underlined the growing maturity of GREF members in their gambling analyses and tools, the urgent need for cooperation between stakeholders, and GREF’s openness to international partnerships. She pointed out that: “European regulators cannot be isolated, apart from the other actors. Even if we have specific and unique responsibilities, we need to work with others to propose effective regulation”.

MGA CEO Charles Mizzi welcomed attendees to Malta for GREF’s 2024 Annual Conference, highlighting the importance of collaboration for effective regulation. He said: “The complexity of the industry demands collaborative efforts. With various stakeholders, including operators, technology providers, and government bodies – all playing critical roles – collaboration allows us to leverage the diverse expertise and perspectives to develop comprehensive and effective regulatory frameworks that address the complexities that are inherent to the industry.”

Additionally, Anna Grech, International Affairs & Policy Outreach Manager at the MGA, delved into the development of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Code as a means to acknowledge licensees’ commitment to sustainability, showcasing and building upon the positive initiatives already being undertaken by the gaming industry.

Rachel Bezzina, the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Manager at the MGA and co-chair of the GREF AML working group, also led a dialogue during the event. She delivered key updates on best practices for effective monitoring and supervision over ML/FT risks.

With over 90 participants representing regulatory bodies from various countries, the conference served as an excellent platform for networking and collaboration among international stakeholders, reinforcing the importance of a unified approach to gaming regulation.

HelicopterX: Another innovation from Smartsoft

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

SmartSoft, a leading provider of non-traditional casino games operating on the B2B market since 2015. The creator of groundbreaking and unique games, with nearly a decade of experience and 70 games to its credit, SmartSoft has pioneered several unique gaming experiences. Among its groundbreaking creations is the flight-based non-traditional casino game JetX, which has set a benchmark in the industry. SmartSoft has introduced its latest marvel, HelicopterX, which has quickly attracted millions of users worldwide. Launched in November, HelicopterX has already took the 4th position in gaming rankings, thanks to its immersive gaming experience, this game sets a new standard for visual excellence and artistic innovation in the gaming industry.

SmartSoft’s CEO, Guga Gotsadze shares his thoughts with us: “HelicopterX represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to providing innovative and engaging gaming experiences. Our team’s dedication and creative approach have truly set this game apart in the market.” HelicopterX features a helicopter as the main object and a diamond as the trigger, combining dynamic casino gameplay with interactive elements. The game’s exceptional visual design, stunning graphics, and captivating animations engage players from the first glance. Every element, from detailed environments to dynamic visual effects, teleports players in a stunning digital world.

The creation of HelicopterX was a collaborative effort involving multiple departments at SmartSoft, each contributing their expertise to deliver a top-tier product. The process began with an initial concept, where the team decided to make the game distinctive – unlike similar games in the industry that are solely based on mechanics, while working on HelicopterX, they decided that the game would feature modern visuals, be as user-friendly as possible, and incorporate outstanding mechanics. After this they planned the core algorithms and game logic. Following this, the back-end development phase involved meticulous coding to bring these ideas to life. The subsequent front-end development phase integrated sophisticated designs with the game logic, ensuring seamless animations and functionality across various devices.

In the design department, the initial stage involved creating drafts or “skeletons” of the game’s visual elements. The objective was to visually express the game concept in the most engaging way possible. Multiple versions of the environment, diamond, and helicopter were sketched before finalizing a distinct and appealing environment. This stage was crucial for the product’s success, as the game needed to be both visually appealing and intuitive. After finalizing the designs, the animators brought these elements to life, ensuring a seamless and captivating visual experience. Continuous testing and optimization were conducted to ensure technical efficiency and eliminate any bugs, providing users with an error-free gaming experience. “Our rigorous testing process and attention to detail ensure that HelicopterX delivers a flawless and engaging experience for all players,” the CEO added.

One of the standout features of HelicopterX is the Diamond feature, which enhances the overall gameplay experience. This unique element helps players navigate through the basic Multiplayer faster, adding depth and excitement to the game. The design elements, including symbols, backgrounds, and animations, are coherently aligned to support and enhance the game’s theme, contributing to a cohesive and immersive gaming experience. HelicopterX is a testament to SmartSoft’s dedication to innovation and excellence in the gaming industry. From the captivating visuals to the rigorous testing, every aspect of the game is handled in-house, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the team. “We believe HelicopterX embodies the spirit of innovation and excellence that SmartSoft strives for. We are proud of our achievement and excited to share this experience with players around the world,” said the CEO.

With the successful launch of yet another game, Smartsoft is set to fly even higher and reach new heights. Every new creation from SmartSoft prepares new adventures and unforgettable experiences.
